Rubbish

Over the bank holiday weekend the council provided us with a skip into which we could place rubbish from our plots. I found an old iron bed, 10m of ventilation ducting, various parts of a car's suspension, lots of old rotten carpet and some rubbish sacks full of something smelly. It was a good gesture from the council but I was saddened to see an allotment holder drive in to the car park with a car full of domestic rubbish and promptly place it in the skip. By the afternoon the skip was full and plotholders trying to clear their plots no longer had anywhere to deposit their rubbish. You don't want to carry a bag full of rotting vegetation in your car. It's a shame the space was taken by bits of clean carpets and lampshades.

It's similar to the people who drives miles into the countryside to dump a car load of rubbish when the council run recycling centre is half the distance away and would take all the stuff! I never have understood that.
